THE EAVESDROPPER,
Who Hastens To Print what He Hap

sent ofthc Authors Thereof.

STEVE MOORE: | am accused of a
ycarlin'. but didn't took him.
G.. A. WooLF: Property in El Paso
is lower just now than it was two
months ago but is still high.
NEWS: Negotiations are on foot
for the establishment Of large furni-
ture factory in Dallas.
w. +. MINTER (of Mesquite): The
farmers are all at work with n vim,
preparing their fine black soil for
planting. They are planting corn and
preparing for cotton. Wheat is very
fine.
j. c. HART: Like all other indus
trial people, the journeymen painters
and paper-hangers might, could,
would and should organize. They
meet for the purpose tomorrow in
East Dallas.
BooTBLACK: The Y. NJ. G. A. enter
tanned me to-day and ! expect to join
il and leave the business ] am now in.
One gentleman told me he thought he
could help me get good place.
Col. PFoUTs: Four times as much
wheat has been planted around Yer
non and Henrietta this year as there
was last year. All kinds of seeds are
badly needed there. The people are
not discouraged.
FoRr WoRTII MAIL MAN: The treat
ment of the poor Texans dragged
away to Washington TO testify in the
outrage cases is shameful. One OF
them writes home THAI he can't get
trusted in single bar-room in the
whole BANKED place
DIR. BRowDER: The HERALD is not
blowing any horn about it, but is i'm
proving all the time and is first rate
paper. 1t deserves good patronage
and am glad to sec that it is getting
it. found everybody busy down in
Ellis county and wheat looking fine.
JUDGE AZ. FERRIS: The moral senti-
ment of Dallas is much higher than
that ofany city of the size know OF,
and is improving all the time. There
is no city of the size in which the Sun
day law is so rigidly enforced and
churches more generally attended.
Even violators of the law prefer to
live and raise families in a good moral
town.
l.. Il. SMITH (of Leavenworth): We
are not here to make proposition
now. for we do not know that the gov
eminent of Dallas wants one.
brought Mr.. Whitman TO get his re-
port, aud if the city then wants TO dis
pose of the waterworks we can see
whether or not we may come. to an
agreement.
Rev. NJ. S. ANDREWS: The differ
ence in old aud new cities is remark |
able. People do not think, speak or
act alike. A fair comparison is seen
by person going from here to Mo-
bile, or coming thence here. People |
live in too great a hurry here. There
is no use in running oneself down
and into the grave prematurely.
ALDERMAN: fhe waterworks should
be owned and controlled by the city.
Private ownership of such necessity |
always results in oppression and UNI
satisfactory service. In case the ex-
pense of furnishing an abundance of
water is increased at any time let the
increase be met by city tax and this
will be easily and equally borne by all
the people.
Mrs. V. EATON: heard leader of
Dallas society declare that she enjoyed /
formal entertainments aboFe every
thing;that form was generally decried,
but that she knew of no better means |
of testing a PERSONS responsibility or
social qualities. etc. IL occurs to me
that conventionalities and forms arc
mere rlimicry, and depend more upon
training than upon sense or original
ity. Strong-minded people endure
them but frequently despise them.
